Coming to live in Spain is normally associated, and rightly so, with sunshine, good food, fine wines and better quality of life. It also means tax residency and an individual becoming subject to Spanish laws. Spain's tax system has been computerized and is efficient so the authorities also aware of the number of ex-patriots living in the peninsular and these individuals are obliged to file annual tax returns like all local Spaniards.

Many people may not know but they are subject to wealth tax on their world wide assets and income tax on a second property in Spain, whether they rent it out or not. Some basic tax planning can reduce annual running costs and nasty surprises in the future.
